The odor under your arms isn't caused by perspiration, which is comprised mostly of water and salt. In fact, it's caused by bacteria that is attracted to the places where you sweat the most
-Adjust Your Diet
-Avoid foods that are known to increase underarm odor like :Garlic,Onions,Fish,Curry
-Avoid alcohol and caffeinated baverage like coffe or at least decrease its intake .
-Drinking a lot of water it helps naturally cleanse your body and to keep you smelling fresh.
-Aim to drink a t least 8 - 10 glasses of water a day.
-Eat foods that improve your body odor like fruits, vegetables , and whole grains.
-Take a wheat grass supplement along with your meals.
-Chew on parsley, or other leafy greens after meals to help neutralize strong scents.
-Eat chlorophyll-rich foods such as kale and spinach
-Add magnesium and zinc to your diet. You can add magnesium and zinc to your diet through vitamins, or by eating foods that are rich in these vitamins
>food rich in magnesium like nuts and seeds, spinach, lentils, avocado, bananas, ...
>Foods rich in zinc: pumpkin ,dark chocolate, and peanuts
-if you are overweight, obese maintain a normal weight
-Shower daily. Make an effort to shower every single day, no matter how tired or busy you may be.After you shower, make sure to fully towel off, so you don't leave any moisture
-Use an antibacterial soap for best results
-Apply strong antiperspirants to your underarms. Apply the antiperspirant twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening,pick a higher concentrated one.
-Wear clothes made of cotton, wool, or silk will make your body less likely to sweat
-Change and wash your clothes often.
-Shave your armpits
-Try some relaxation techniques.Take whatever measures you can to relax and reduce stress, and your body, mind, and underarms will reap the benefits.
-you can apply alcohol or vinegar to your underarms. Use a washcloth wipe down your armpits. This will change the pH of your skin so the bacteria can't grow
LASTLY :
If you really have severe armpit odor and have tried every natural treatment you can to eliminate it, then see adoctor ,A doctor can not only prescribe a stronger antiperspirantor give other treatment options like
>superficial liposuction curettage which can remove your sweat glands by suctioning out subcutaneous through small cuts in your skin.
>Open surgery that can include cutting or shaving the subcutaneous tissue that may remove some of the skin along with it. This is riskier, but the results last longer.
>if you have excessive sweating you can go a dermatologist to undergo tests and apply treatments or botox ,sometimes excess sweat increases bacteria overgrowth and thus bad smell .this is a simple treatment if all the above points measures failed .
